Hey guys,<br><br><br><br>
So I am having a baby soon (Sept) and have been doing my research regarding diapering my new baby.<br><br><br><br>
I am finding ALOT of conflicting theories on each.I am hoping someone can help with my research and help me to make an informed decsion.<br><br><br><br>
My problem is , is that alot of sites are saying the energy it takes to make the cotton diapers, deliver them, wash them with soaps and hot water over and over make the same impact that a disposable diaper does.With the energy still polluting.<br><br><br><br>
Here are my options:<br><br>
~Biodegradeable Seventh Generation Diapers (very expensive!)<br><br>
~Washing cotton diapers at home with eco-soap (time consuming/yukky!)<br><br>
~Diaper cotton delivery once weekly (handy, but still wasteful of energy ?)<br><br>
~ disposable diapers(wasteful)<br><br><br><br>
My Mother did it right.She washed all her cotton diapers at home.This to me is such a yukky time consuming prospect.So I am thinking that I will do the cotton diaper delivery every week.<br><br><br><br>
Can anyone help me find the facts, so that I can feel that this really is the best decision?<br><br><br><br>
